One Second - Sarah Bettens

When something dies

Or comes to life

When water shines in yellow light

When something moves

Inside a tree

I wish you saw things just like me

When I walk around

Lost and found

And I feel my feet as they touch the ground

And I’m happy just to be right there

I wish that I could somehow share

The thing my stomach does when I think of us

What if we had one second to be?

Just like the other what would we see?

What if you knew exactly what you are to me?

Would you be terribly surprised?

To see who I am in my actual size

A second is short, but more then enough

You would feel loved, you would feel loved

What you hear, when music sings

What makes you sad, what sadness brings

Do you feel empty when you cry?

If I could only find out why you fear the things you fear

And make it disappear

What if we had one second to be?

Just like the other what would we see?

What if you knew exactly what you are to me?

Would you be terribly surprised?

To see who I am in my actual size

A second is short, but more then enough

You would feel loved, you would feel loved

What if we had one second to be?

Just like the other what would we see?

What if you knew exactly what you are to me?

Would you be terribly surprised?

To see who I am in my actual size

A second is short, but more then enough

You would feel loved, you would feel loved

You would feel loved, you would feel loved

You would feel loved, you would feel loved
